Some Big Changes

Our little Chase turned 2 on March 4th. I can't believe it's been 2 year already. I have been so bad with updating our blog in the past 6 months. We have been so busy with company and house/yard stuff. I know that is a lame excuse but it's the truth! I just had to write about Chase today. He hasn't been much of a talker yet in the way of using his words. He uses his face expressions for everything instead of talking. Well yesterday it was like someone turned a switch on him. He's trying to talk soooo much more and doing a great job at it. He was sitting in his highchair coloring in his Sesame Street book and he pointed at Big Bird and said it perfect. It made me tear up, I was sooo proud of him. It's hard to understand everything he is saying but oh my gosh it's so cute. I so struggle some days with living away from family and our close friends. I have so much I want to share in our daily life that I just can't. Chase is one of those toddlers that can bring a smile to any ones face at anytime. He is such a little flirt and showoff when he is comfortable. Currently his very favorite thing is Basketball. OMG he always has little basketballs in his hands. He likes to take them in the crib at night when he goes to sleep. The Ellerbeck's got him a small basketball hoop for his Birthday and he drags that around the house all the time. You can imagine this makes Nick really happy. Son + Basketball = perfect in Nicks eyes. It's awesome! Everything with Nick and I are going really well. Nick is doing great at work and still working a lot. I'm just loving being a Mom and love that I can stay home with Chase and enjoy everyday with him. I feel so blessed! Looking forward to the summer this year because of the pool. I usually start to get kind of grumpy after the end of May but this summer is going to be awesome. We're hoping that Chase will like the pool more this season. Love and miss you all. Hope all is going well :)
